"Kid, stop running."
Several figures flashed through the forest. Ahead, a handsome but shabbily dressed man was fleeing for his life, with several old men in black civilian clothes chasing after him.
"Kid, stop running. You've already been poisoned with the Life-Ending Soul Severing Poison. Nothing you do will help." One of the old men spoke, but the man ahead paid him no heed and kept sprinting. It was clear, however, that he was gradually slowing down. At last, he came to a stop and turned to face the old men. His eyes showed no fear, only unwillingness to accept his fate.
"You want my life? Then come and take it!" With that, he activated his cultivation technique, preparing to fight to the death. But after circulating it for a few cycles, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. His body swayed a few times, but he didn't fall.
"Kid, why go to such lengths? Hand over the technique, and we'll make sure you come to no harm," one of the old men said, unable to bear seeing him suffer.
"Hand over the technique? But it isn't mine. How could I give it to you without its owner's permission and still call myself a decent person?" Chen Yi said. After those few words, he could barely keep himself upright, but he still forced himself to stand.
"Alas, send him on his way!" With that, he attacked alongside the others. The fight was over in just a few exchanges.
On the seventh day of the seventh month, Gan Long Calendar, Chen Yi, a peerless genius of his generation, died. Cause of death: he refused to hand over a peerless technique to his dying breath. In truth, it wasn't that he was unwilling to hand it over. The system's techniques were simply too powerful. The release of even a single one would shake the entire world, and that was something he didn't want to see.
Opening the system panel:

"Alas, I've died again. One life, one death—what's the meaning of my existence?" A handsome, silver-haired man sighed in an apartment that wasn't luxurious, but was very clean and tidy.
"System," the man said.
"I'm here, Master." A clear, ethereal voice rang out in his mind.
"Tell me about this world, Chen Yi said."
"All right, Master."
"The creatures in this world all revere technology. After tens of thousands of years of development, the major civilizations are now the Galaxy Civilization, the Underworld River Civilization, the Blazing Sun Civilization, and the most powerful, the Angel Civilization. The Angel Civilization's queen, the Holy Keisha, has a Fourth Generation Divine Body. Thanks to the special Holy Atoms in her Sacred Body, she is the strongest Fourth Generation God in the Known Universe."
"The other Fourth Generation Gods in the Known Universe are Pan Zhen, guardian of the Blazing Sun Civilization; Death God Karl of the Underworld River Civilization; and Demon Queen Morgana of the Demon Civilization."
"The levels of civilization are: Primitive Civilization, Pre-Nuclear Civilization, Spacefaring Civilization (antimatter), God-Making Civilization (Dark Energy), and, ultimately, development toward Void Civilization."
First Generation Super Soldier: Super Gene body Second Generation Super Soldier: Steel Body (a special, invincible body) First Generation Divine Body: strength of a First Generation Angel Second Generation Divine Body: strength of a High-Level Angel Third Generation Divine Body: strength of a Guardian Angel Fourth Generation Divine Body < Sacred Body: strength of a Main God
"A world that reveres technology? I remember my first life was in a world like this, too. When I died back then, it seemed technology had already reached the Spacefaring Civilization level. I'm feeling a little nostalgic. I wonder what I should do next," Chen Yi said.
"Master, I've already implanted the Star Bolt Gene into your body. However, your gene hasn't been activated yet. You'll need to complete a mission to activate it," the system said.
"Okay. Then why hasn't a mission appeared?"
"Master, please wait patiently. A mission will trigger at the appropriate time." Hearing this, Chen Yi felt reassured. He had always believed that strength was what mattered most. Without it, you could only be bullied by those who had it, and you had no say in anything.
As Chen Yi pondered this, he headed toward the bedroom. Although he had only just arrived in this world, the system had given him an identity here. Still lost in thought, Chen Yi soon fell asleep.
